Mile End Real Estate & Houses for Sale

No matter what type of character home buyers prefer in a neighbourhood, Mile End is a fairly good option. Mile End is reasonably quiet, as the streets are usually peaceful, although there are still several noisier areas, especially closer to the railway line. The greenery in this part of the city is prominent; parks, such as Parc Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier and Parc Jeanne-Mance, are very well-spread out and there are over 50 of them close by for residents to discover, which results in them being very easy to access from most locations in this neighbourhood. Residents will also find that there are numerous tree-lined streets. Lastly, it is especially easy to find bustling areas in this part of Montréal. The streets are almost always busy with people, there is a broad selection of entertainment venues, and with its over 50 bars, there are options for nighttime activities.

Transportation

Mile End is an excellent neighbourhood for car-free transportation options. A majority of the houses for sale in this part of the city are located in places that are particularly well-suited for pedestrians; carrying out day-to-day needs is very easy without a car, and there are also countless businesses in proximity. Mile End will also attract active house buyers since it is very suitable for bicycling. More precisely, the cycling infrastructure is fairly extensive, and there is usually a bike-share station close by. Thanks to various nearby rapid transit stations on the Ligne 2 - Orange and Ligne 5 - Bleue, and around 30 nearby bus lines, homeowners can count on public transit to travel in Mile End. However, cars are a rather limited means of transportation in this area as finding a parking spot is not very easy, and it is an occasionally long drive to the closest highway from any home in Mile End.

Housing

In Mile End, about 80% of dwellings are small apartment buildings, while large apartment buildings make up most of the remaining housing stock. This part of Montréal experienced its biggest building boom prior to the 1960s, so most of the available properties are from this time period. This area is primarily composed of two bedroom and one bedroom homes. Around 70% of the population of this neighbourhood rent their home while the remainder are owners.

Both general and specialty grocery stores are typically accessible within a very short walk from most houses for sale in Mile End. Avenue du Parc is among the best streets for food stores.
